Bunionettes - don't they sound cute?

[colby]

My grandmother had to have her bunions zapped. She felt WAY better after she had it done.

My dad has them, and we all have the same feet, so I'm sure I'm destined for them as well. Right now I just have callouses on the widest parts of my feet that rub on shoes and sometimes blisters, no super bunions. I've been very careful to try to run in shoes that are wide enough for my feet, and for every day shoes to try to find the best width fit. It's really difficult for normal shoes, but since I've been running I've needed my regular shoes to fit well or they hurt. I've been wearing Keens since the summer, and when I wear them too soon after I run, my feet kill in the bunion area. When I wear my old running shoes (before I got picky), womens wide GT-2100s (had to switch to mens 2Es), after biking/running to work, the same thing happens.

Hopefully all goes well. It seems like if they really do hurt, the surgery will really help. It sucks to be in that position, but feet are so sensitive and so critical. Maybe once they feel better you won't have to spend so much on fancy orthotics

Thinking about it, it seems I see quite a few of these during a week. I do pre and post surgery xrays. Then followups down the line. Every single one of them says it's so much better now. They wish they had done it years ago. On the xray, it just looks like they shave off the excess bone cuz it's all smooth looking after.

Best wishes and good luck.
